My take: Government is gambling and trying to get the Americans to talk.

You mean UAE and Cyprus, because it looks like there seems to be somekind of break between the Saudis and UAE. Saudi pushed for peace with Qatar, while UAE only accepted reluctantly. Their media is still hating on them while Saudis have stopped. If you want to read authoritarian countries listen...

Yeah I'm a leach and so is everyone with a bit of knowledge about economics.

He did it again, he just can keep his mouth shut.

That explains the prices. Currently looking to buy a house in Turkey, anybody know which websites to check out for real estate?

Not all products, there are still a lot of trade barriers for Turkish goods. Just to give two very basic examples: pasta is taxed and olive oil packaged is taxed to but if you import Turkish olive oil to bottle it and sell it in Europe you dont pay anything for it. And thats just two minor...

Or AstraZeneca which costs only 1/4 of BionTech or Moderna one. Anyway as long as I can travel this year again I dont care, as long as we get Covid behind us.

I get your point but has supporting the MB brought us any advantages? Do the advantages cover the damages it has done? Sure I mean the Syrian Rebels are on our side, we won little Qatar and have around a third of Libya. But at what cost? And I dont like any of the gulf Arab countries...

Your car dealer is not going through the European Medical Agency or the British one or any other country that has approved it. Astra Zenecas vaccines might be the best thing earth has right now, its cheap, good and easy to store. BionTech and Moderna are to expensive for the developing...

I wish we could achieve that. But this happens to us every 2-3 decades.

Everyone's talking defence ties, but the obvious answer is: a FTA and investments in each others countries. Turkey has a bigger industrial base then let's say Pakistan and can invest and with local factories. In the future R&D and exports into other markets from Pakistan to other Asian markets...

We should finally stop this mess and go for something realistic. FTA and free movement, join the EU standards for rule of law, consumer protection etc without becoming a member.

Its not pretty but how else do you get rid of an authoritarian leader we're facing fairly regularly in the history of the country?

Better bring back that signed FTA finally
